Hey family! Thanks to Sister Bowman, you all heard the news, I GOT MY VISA!!! I'm excited/nervous/scared/excited/every single emotion in the book. I feel ready...I think. I know that its the right time, for sure. I've known the whole week that it was my last week in Colorado. Then the President called on Saturday morning, and I'm leaving on Wednesday! My flight leaves at 10 and I think I'm going to Dallas first, then somewhere, they didn't tell me what was going on. All I know is that I report to the mission office on Wed morning. Sister Bowman sat by me in Relief Society and just cried the whole time. She gets really atttatched to the missionaries. I managed to make it through all of church without tears. But we visited my Recent Convert, Frank, who is doing so incredibly great! He is getting his priesthood on Sunday and he is going to the temple for baptisms next month! And I told him I was leaving, and he got all teary. He said a prayer with us before we left, and cried. Oh man, it was hard. Then he gave me a hug before I left...I just couldn't resist, hes the cutest little mexican man and I'm so sad to leave him. My one baptism :) I'm also sad to leave Phenia, TWO DAYS before she gets baptized! Ugh! She was sad when I told her too, she was like, First Sister HIlbert, now you? I know right! I miss Sister HIlbert too :) Its been a crazy week and I have so much to do before I leave. I love Pueblo Colorado, its like home! Okay Miracle Story:
Another miracle was when we visited a referral from the Pueblo Elders. They ran into a woman who had visited with missionaries before, and wanted them to come over for dinner. She ended up cancelling, but we decided to stop by and she let us in. Turned out she was ready for her baptism, but was living with her boyfriend and was on probation and there were just a lot of road blocks that stopped it from happening. And she lost contact with the missionaries. She recently broke up with that boyfriend, and is off probation and has been wanting to get back in contact with the missionaries, but didn't know how. She wants to be baptized! There are a few complications because she has a high-risk pregnancy and is on bed-rest. But we are super excited to work with her, she has a testimony of the gospel.
Well, I LOVE YOU ALL! SO MUCH! I've got lots to do today in preparation, and I'm pretty excited. Nervous, but excited. I Miss you lots and lots! Keep the letters coming, especially now that I'm in a foreign country. LOVE YOU! TE AMO
Sister Pratt
